Sierra Leone Police clears the air on shooting in Liberia, issues statement, says “ No cause for alarm”

In a statement published in one of the country’s local dailies, Cocorioco online
regarding the shooting situation in Liberia by ‘strange gunmen’ on
“Fula Hill” authority of the Sierra Leone police say it notes with
concern information going round in the social media of a pending attack
on the State of Sierra Leone making reference of recent shooting in
Bomi County by unknown gunmen.

The statement further noted that the
information has been assessed and so far no evidence has been
established to ascertain the veracity of threats of any attack
whatsoever.

See statement from the police below:

“What has so far been found out is that a
certain group with arms and blank rounds shooting a film in the
interior of Liberia was spotted in the Bomi County without notifying the
people of the area. This situation caused fear and panic when
photographs of the scene were posted on the social media.

Some ill motivated people have used this
incident in Liberia to circulate rumors of pending attacks on Sierra
Leone. The Sierra Leone Police wishes to assure the general public that
there is no evidence to support this claim as security personnel in all
areas of the country are on high alert and the security situation is
calm and quiet. Members of the public are advised to go about their
normal business as there is no cause for alarm.

Meanwhile, the Sierra Leone Police
wishes to remind members of the public that it is an offense under the
Public Order Act to publish false rumors and propaganda with the
intention of causing fear, panic and confusion in the minds of
unsuspecting members of the public. Any person caught doing so will face
the full force of the law.

You have been warned!
Signed:
Francis A. Munu
Inspector General of Police

support your call "to ensured Liberians are not spectators in the

order to carry out this "Pro Poor" agenda successfully,
